The acceleration of free fall on the surface of Saturn? Offhand, without googling or wikis? The answer is below, just highlight it.

The free fall acceleration at the equator (g) is 10.44 m/s².

I.e. just above the earth's.

Nah, not much at a glance, the size seems to be bigger, seems to be much bigger, hence the acceleration is stronger

I thought it was many times bigger.

 
Mischek: I thought it was many times bigger.

Its density is very low, it will float in water.

And acceleration depends linearly on the density of the planet and its radius. So it turns out that the radius is almost an order of magnitude larger than the Earth's, but the density is almost the same order of magnitude smaller...

Its density is very low, it will float in water.

And acceleration depends linearly on the density of the planet and its radius. So it turns out that the radius is almost an order of magnitude larger than the Earth's, but the density is almost the same order of magnitude smaller...

Also, if we measure at the equator, it is twice as fast there (I googled it).
